Description

Note: Descriptions are shown in the official language in which they were submitted.



'

he present invention relates to the use of stabiliser
systems of triarylphosphites and phenols for stabilising
organic polymeric matarials against thermooxidative
deterioration, and to the organic polymers stabilised wl-th
the said systems.

"Triarylphosphites", or "phosphite~ containing aryl
groups"~ are known. By "phosphites containillg aryl groups"
are meant, in particular, variably substituted (unsym-
metrical~ phosphites, i.e. those containing either three
differen~ly subs~.i-tuted aryl radicals or, besides (sub-
stituted) aryl radicals, also alkyl radicals. Such unsym-
metrical phosphites undergo usually intermolecular trans-
esteriication reactions, are always li~uid and have a
tendency to hydrolyse~ which result~ in poor storage stabi-
lity and poorly reproducible effectiveness.

In US 2,997,454 and US 2,867,S94, the greater e~fective-
ness o~ unsymmetrical alkyl-arylpho~phites in PVC com-
pared with that o the symmetrical triarylphosphites is
empllasised.

The instant invention relates to a stabilizer com-
position for stabilizing organic polymers which contain
hetero atoms, double bonds or aromatic rings, which com-
position comprises a symmetrical triar~lphosphite selected

The phosphites can be used - together with one or
more of the phenolic compounds ~ her singly or in com-
bination ~ith each other. The phosphites usa~le according
to the in~ention are generally crystallised solids which,

vention can be produced by known me-thods for example by reaction of
the appropriate alkyl-substituted phenol with phosphorus trichlor-

` ide, ~ithout solvent, at 20~250C, or in an inert aprotic solvent
in the presence of an or~anic base; or by reaction of the alkyl-
substituted phenol with triphenylphosphite, preferably without sol-
vent, in the presence of a basic catalyst.
The resulting compounds are purified by recrystallisation
in a suitable solvent (solvent mixture).

100 parts of unstabilised SAN granulate (styrene/
acrylonitrile copoly~er containing 26.5% of acryloni~rile,
"Ronfa]in S", DSM, Holland) are mixed dry with 0.1 part of
each of the additives given in Table 1. The mi~tures are
e~truded in a Ko-kneader at 180C and subsequently granulated.
The resulting granulate is injected at 240C in an injection
extrusion machine (Ankerwerk Nurnberg, Germany) to form
platelets 50 x 55 x 2 mm in size. The comparative platelets
without additives are produced in an analogous manner.
The intensity of the yellowing produced by processing

Example 5
ioo paLts of unstabilised polyamide 12 granulate
('~Ves~amid", chem. Werke Huls, Germany) are mixed, af~er
dryin~, with 0.5 part in each case cf the additives listed
in the following Table 5. The mix~ures are extruded in a
single screw extruder at a maximum of 240C and subsequently
granulated. The granulate obtained is injected in an injection
extrusion machine (Ankerwerk, ~urnberg, Germany) at a maximum
temperature of 280C to form 1.5 mm thick specimens. The
comparative specimens without additives are produced in an
analogous manner.
The testing of the effectiveness of the additives
contained in the specimens is carried out by heat ageing
in an air-circulation furnace at 160C. The progression of
ageing is followed by determination of the stress-strain
curves at intervals of 1-3 days. The end point is defined as
being the time after which the yield stress has fallen to
80% of its initial value

Example ~
100 parts of impac~ resistant polystyrene ~producer:
BASF, Germany) are mixed with the additives listed in the
foll~wing Table 6 at the given concentrations. The mixtures
are extruded in a single screw extruder a~ a maximum of 180C
and subsequently granulated. The granulate obtained is injected
on an injection extrusion machine (Ankerwerk, Nurnberg,
Germany) at a maximum of 240C to form 1.5 mm thick plates.
The comparative plates without additives are produced in
an analogous manner.
The effectiveness of the additives contained in the
plates is tested by means of irradia~ion in a Xeno~st
apparatus, Type "150". The progression of ageing is followed
by determination of the Yellowness Index according to ASTM
1925. The Yellowness Index constitutes a good criterion
or ~he visual yellow impression.
